Patriots for profit

contractors and the military in U.S. national security

Edición de la obra Patriots for profit

Develops a new approach to the analysis of civil-military relations by focusing on the effectiveness of the U.S. armed forces in fulfilling roles and missions, and on their efficiency in terms of cost--with special attention to the recent phenomenon of contracting-out security to private security contractors some roles and missions that were previously the responsibility of the uniformed military.
